The Empire begins with the Fourth Scourge.

2515: The Cage of the Gods

Darth Sidious stood up from the throne, walked to the holographic projection device on the other side and pressed a button, and the surroundings were immediately occupied by a huge holographic projection.

Holographic star map of the Milky Way.

However, this star map is completely different from the star map in the current navigation system, and even different from the secret star map in the Jedi Library. This star map only marks a few hyperspace routes and a few planetary coordinates. Other than that, there is fog everywhere.

"One hundred thousand years ago..." Darth Sidious repeated, "Finally, I found the God who existed one hundred thousand years ago. Hehehehe..."

He laughed sinisterly, and the sound made people feel uncomfortable.

Black Hole said respectfully: "King of Destruction Coleman Law, we can only find records of his existence in a forgotten corner, but there is no evidence. According to rumors, he can use the magical dark alchemy. The alchemical monsters he created are extremely powerful, even comparable to the Star Fleet. His followers are called Kanzer Exiles. There are a huge number of them, and each of them has been transformed by dark alchemy and is extremely powerful. Under the worship of countless believers, Coleman Law eventually became a god."

"But he disappeared a hundred thousand years ago." Darth Sidious said slowly, "A hundred thousand years ago, a big event happened. And this event is related to the survival of countless gods. A hundred thousand years ago, the once prosperous Kilik swarm suddenly began to degenerate and eventually became the most primitive bugs. A hundred thousand years ago, the Saru people also degenerated after leaving behind the plastic pyramid..."

He lit up the few planets one by one on this original star map. It turned out that this star map was the Milky Way one hundred thousand years ago!

"Mnggal-Mnggal, the god of decay, the mysterious Grisks... they all experienced the incident a hundred thousand years ago. Now, they can only be locked in the unknown star region, unable to escape. Also a hundred thousand years ago, the gods who created the Milky Way... disappeared." Darth Sidious said, "Now add Coleman-Raw, the god of destruction. I don't know how many dangerous, powerful, and terrifying gods are locked in the unknown star region. There is the cage of the gods."

"The Kingdom of Dawn claims that they defeated the God of Decay, Mnggal-Mnggal. If they really did it, then Darth Malthael must have some information about a hundred thousand years ago. Moreover, the Dawn Kingdom's agents forcibly moved the plastic pyramid of the Salu people, which may also record why the Salu people suddenly degenerated into a primitive tribe." Black Hole said, "Although the God of Destruction, Coleman Law, disappeared a hundred thousand years ago, I think such a huge planetary temple cannot be completely destroyed, and there must be ruins left. As long as we can find this relic, maybe we can find more information."

"A secret from a hundred thousand years ago, this is the realm of God. If we cannot crack this secret, we will always be... mortals." Darth Sidious said gloomily, "We cannot let Darth Malthael get this secret. Go to the unknown star region, find the temple of Coleman Law, the god of destruction, dig out his secrets, and bring them to me."

Black Hole lowered his head and said respectfully: "I will send my apprentice, Senior Inquisitor Jerrick. He will lead an elite force to the unknown star region to find the trace of the God of Destruction Coleman Law."

"Jerrick...hehehe, he's very good. But this matter cannot afford to fail. If he cannot achieve his goal, you should go there in person." Darth Sidious said.

"As you wish, my Majesty..." Black Hole said as he kept his head down and walked out of the palace backwards.

……

At the same time, in the core circle of the Milky Way, Ojom is an icy planet, the main race is Besalisk, as a non-human race, after the establishment of the Galactic Empire, they set up a planetary administrative capital here and sent human officials to manage it.

However, at this moment, a bloody storm is taking place in the planet's administrative capital!

A large number of Imperial Stormtroopers wearing heavy white armor, white capes, and specially designed tactical eyepieces on their helmets have surrounded the administrative capital. They are searching for everyone on the list.

People were constantly dragged out of the building and thrown directly onto the frozen snow. After the officer simply read out the verdict, they were shot and executed!

Hundreds of bodies were lying outside the building. In the corner, some Besalisk civilians were huddled and trembling, watching the killing between humans and fearing that it would affect them.

In the Governor's Office in the administrative capital, a middle-aged man in his 50s, wearing a black combat uniform and a red cape, sat on the sofa. He was basically bald, and except for the back of his head, his hair had basically fallen out. What was impressive was that he was wearing a pair of straight eyepieces, which were so small that they almost squeezed into his flesh, making him look a little funny and uncomfortable.

He is Jerrick, the senior judge of the Imperial Court.

As the apprentice of Black Hole, he had the same power as the Grand Inquisitor. However, because the appointment of the Grand Inquisitor involved a complicated power struggle, he was never able to go any further. But most of the time, he would also carry out the most difficult tasks assigned by the Inquisition.

For example, the previous mission to hunt down "Santa Claus" Yuri Orlov, and the mission to reinforce the Northern Frontier Campaign. During that mission, it was also him who arrested Admiral Gilad Perrine.

Not just any inquisitor has the power to arrest an Imperial Navy admiral.

But Jerick can.

This time, he was ordered to come to the planet Ohom to arrest the planetary governor. The planetary governor was involved in the assassination of the Imperial Emperor Palpatine by the senior star district governor Baltam and others, and someone reported that the governor was involved in the smuggling and transportation of miniature high-energy bombs.

It was that miniature high-energy bomb that destroyed the barracks area on Palpatine's shuttle and killed the team of Emperor's Guards he was leading out at the time.

Although this evidence is not sufficient, for Jerrick, it is enough to have evidence. More importantly, there are people behind the scenes who hope that the position of Governor of the planet Ohom will be vacated. (End of this chapter)
